Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows® compatibility with Xbox 360 ...

I just realised the answer is NO... as the Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Gaming Receiver for windows uses 2.4 GHz radio technology whereas the Xbox 360 Media Remote control control uses Infrared technology....

Now does anyone know a compatible Infrared Receiver for Windows compatible with with Xbox 360 Media Remote control ?

Thanks & Regards

Nick

Nope, using the Plug and Play charging cord wont work, it only carries power through it, no data. You can use a wired controller or a Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows®:

You must get the
adapter specifically made for Xbox 360 controllers.

The Xbox Wireless Adapter you've bought is not backward compatible with 360 controllers.

Here is one on Amazon, for example (they don't sell it on the Microsoft store anymore).

Hi robertcawrey,

Thanks for your post! To use an Xbox 360 controller on a Windows PC, you must use the

Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver. Since the Xbox 360 controller and Xbox One controller use different wireless technologies, the new receiver is not compatible with 360 controllers.

I hope this helps.

Can I use my old Xbox 360 adapter with the new XboxOne controller?

NO
